North Peak Resources Intersects Major Structure in the Kirkland Lake Area

27.09.2021  |  CNW
CALGARY, Sept. 27, 2021 - North Peak Resources Ltd. (TSXV: NPR) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it intersected a major structure at its Kenogami Lake Project, located 8 km SE of the ore zones of Kirkland Lake along what is interpreted to be the same Main Break structure (Figure 1 - western Kirkland Lake plan). The major structure is a 3.8 metre (m) clay gouge fault with different rock types on either side of it. It is preceded by a 102m strong shear zone of intense sericite alteration (10%) and with ~10-15% quartz-ankerite veining, and locally up to 15% pyrite over 0.5m locally- all within Archean mafic volcanic rock (Figure 2 - photo). The Main Break is followed by ultramafic rocks and followed by Temiskaming sediments (Figure 3 - Kenogami Lake plan), which locally contain fine pyrite over ~0.3 metres. Assays were not significant - with highs of 0.3 grams per tonne (g/t) Au over 1.0m, and 0.2 g/t over 1.0m - but that is the nature of the Kirkland Lake ore (all or nothing, with a change in grade occurring quickly). The Figures referenced above can be accessed here: NPR Western Kirkland Lake Program.

Mike Sutton, Director of the Company and Senior Geologist explained, "This first exploration drilling program by North Peak on the Kenogami Lake Project targeted the Kirkland Lake Main Break, and we intersected the structure where expected. A very wide, strong zone of alteration and quartz-ankerite veining, along with associated sulphides is present, suggesting a big system that could be mineralized along it."

The drilling consisted of a single 602m drill hole from the shore of Kenogami Lake. Drilling took place in the winter, but the hole could not be completed and had to be delayed until weather and road conditions were more favourable. This drilling completes the requirement of incurring $100,000.

This initial exploration program is in line with the recommended work program in the 43-101 Report (defined below) and contributed towards the obligations that the Company must fulfill in order to exercise its Option (defined below) over the Kenogami Lake Project. This initial drill hole completed the requirement under that Option of incurring the necessary exploration expenditures before the second anniversary of the grant of the Option, and therefore 50,000 common shares of the Company will be issued to the optionor to complete this commitment.

The Kenogami Lake Project consists of twenty-seven mineral claims totaling 500.3 hectares which the Company holds an option to acquire, and which contain all the same rock types, alteration, and most importantly, the same structures, as those that host the Kirkland Lake deposits 8km to the east. Further information in respect of the drill results are set forth in Tables 1 and 2 below.

Geology and Mineralization

The drill hole intersected a ~102m shear zone in Archean volcanics with ~10-15% quartz-ankerite veining, 10% sericite, and locally up to 15% pyrite over 0.5m in a couple of places. In general, mineralization at Kirkland Lake along the Main Break produced 24 million ounces of gold consisting of quartz veins within host rocks such as mafic syenite, felsic syenite, tuffs, and Temiskaming sediments with 1-5% fine pyrite plus local tellurides.

Review by Qualified Person, Quality Control and Reports

Michael Sutton, P.Geo., Director and Senior Geologist for North Peak Resources, is the Qualified Person who supervised the preparation of the scientific and technical disclosure in this news release on behalf of the Company. All core samples, are assayed by Swastika Laboratories situated in Swastika, ON. Which has ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. All core is under watch from the drill site to the core processing facility. All samples are assayed for gold by Fire Assay, with gravimetric finish, and other elements assayed using ICP. The Company's QA/QC program includes the regular insertion of blanks and standards into the sample shipments, as well as instructions for duplication. Standards, blanks and duplicates are inserted at one per 20 samples. Approximately five percent (5%) of the pulps and rejects are sent for check assaying at a second lab with the results averaged and intersections updated when received. Core recovery has averaged 99%.
